BELLIURE ENDURANCE 35 ESMERALDA

The Belliure ENDURANCE 35 is a second-hand sailboat with an undeniable pedigree, currently available in Barcelona, the province of the same name, and represents one of the best expressions of classic Spanish boating. Built in 1980 by the renowned shipyard Belliure Calpe and designed by the recognized Peter Ibold, this sailboat has been conceived from its origins as a true long-range cruiser, prepared to tackle ocean crossings with maximum safety and robustness. The Belliure brand enjoys a well-deserved international reputation for the artisanal quality of its finishes and the reliability of its vessels, with the ENDURANCE 35 being one of its most iconic models, with over 750 units sailing in waters around the world.

This sailboat stands out for its perfectly balanced dimensions for offshore sailing: a length of 10.75 meters, a beam of 3.35 meters, and a draft of 1.72 meters, attributes that, along with its long keel hull, provide exceptional stability and performance at sea. The hull and rig configuration, cutter ketch type, has been designed to face any condition, whether in rough seas or during long passages, making this model a reference for demanding sailors seeking safety, comfort, and autonomy.

The condition and updates of this Belliure ENDURANCE 35 are outstanding. Between 2017 and 2018, the vessel underwent a comprehensive overhaul in preparation for the prestigious Golden Globe Race, one of the most demanding ocean races in the world. During this process, strength tests were conducted, new rigging was installed, ballast and rudder were replaced, and practically all essential equipment for long passages was renewed. The propulsion is provided by a Volvo Penta D2-40, installed in 2018, which offers the reliability and power needed for both port maneuvers and extended sailing, complemented by a fuel capacity of 250 liters and an autonomy that stands out within its segment.

In terms of sails, this sailboat comes with a complete set of North Sails, all renewed in 2018 and in practically impeccable condition, given the limited sailing between 2019 and 2023. It includes a main sail with three reefs, genoa, staysail, storm jib, trysail, spinnaker, gennaker, mizzen, and a bow configuration with Profurl C350 and C320 furlers, as well as all lines and rigging replaced at the same time. The sailboat is also equipped with lazy jacks, masts with steps, a spinnaker pole, and a Hydrovane wind pilot system, newly installed in 2018, which ensures autonomy during long watches and solo sailing.

The onboard electronics combine the reliability of leading brands such as Raymarine, Furuno, and Icom. It features a Raymarine ST5000 autopilot, Furuno GP33 GPS, Standard Horizon VHF with DSC, speed, wind, and depth repeaters, Sestrel compass, Raymarine chart plotter, and an AIS system installed in 2023. The electrical system was completely renewed in 2018, with new wiring, updated 12V and 220V systems, battery charger, power outlets distributed throughout the boat, and new batteries installed in 2023. Energy generation is ensured by Solara solar panels on the cabin roof and a Watt&Sea hydro generator, thus guaranteeing energy independence on long passages.

In terms of comfort and habitability, the Belliure ENDURANCE 35 has two cabins, offering a total of five berths, with a functional layout: a main cabin with two berths in the bow, a twin berth cabin to starboard, a watch berth behind the navigation station to port, and a U-shaped salon to starboard. The interior was updated in 2023, with new hatches, teak deck treatment, and custom-made mattresses, ensuring optimal rest after each day of sailing. The bathroom includes a shower and sink, and the kitchen, renovated during the major overhaul, features a sink with pressurized water and a manual saltwater pump, optimizing life on board during long passages.

The deck equipment meets the demands of an ocean-going sailboat: four Lewmar winches (two of them self-tailing 46 and two 40), an electric Lofrans Kobra windlass, a CQR anchor with a new 30-meter chain, a cockpit table, an outboard motor bracket, and Spinlock hardware. The safety system includes an EPIRB, fire extinguishers, lifelines, a manual bilge pump, life jackets, and an emergency tiller, all in accordance with the highest standards for offshore sailing.

This Belliure ENDURANCE 35 is ideal for sailors looking for a robust, well-equipped vessel ready to embark on new adventures, whether crossing oceans, exploring the Mediterranean, or enjoying long coastal passages with family or friends. Its location in Barcelona, a strategic enclave with excellent connections and nautical services, facilitates logistics for those planning to set sail for distant destinations as well as for those wishing to have a reliable and safe sailboat in one of the main ports of the western Mediterranean. Undoubtedly, a unique opportunity for lovers of ocean sailing and classic sailing, who value character, history, and reliability in every mile.
